displaying complex number in Excel
When one cell contains COMPLEX(1,1), it displays "1+i" nicely.
However, when it is like COMPLEX(1/3,1), it displays "0.3333333333333333+i". I noticed they are also flushed left, unlike normal numbers. Is there any format to tell Excel to display complex number with limited number of digits? Formatting the cell does not seem to do anything on complex numbers. |

displaying complex number in Excel
COMPLEX displays a text value
You may want to experiment with formulas such as =COMPLEX(ROUND(1/3,2),1) best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP www.stfx.ca/people/bliengme remove caps from email "YK" wrote in message ...

displaying complex number in Excel
Thanks,
However rounding inside "COMPLEX" would not maintain the intended value. I guess we just have to live with it.... It would have been nice if the number formatting could be applied to complex numbers. Thanks again.
